JAMES TAYLOR

Asked to investigate the secretive world of tax havens, MT's web editor
Taylor was disappointed when his request for a 'fact-finding mission' to

is already working harder than Steve McQueen's motorbike. He's a
freelance illustrator, an animator at Bristol's Arthur Cox studios, and
a court artist for the BBC, which involves sketching witnesses from
memory.
